MSN stopped connecting after latest update

[EPPack]

Just updated my Pidgin to v2.10.10 and it will no longer connect to 
my MSN account. I have an AIM account that still works fine. The 
message I see is on the Buddy screen, at the bottom, and it says 
"Available - Connecting" but it never does. I am behind a firewall, 
and we run a Barracuda, but before this update, the MSN account 
worked uneventfully. I tried removing the account in question and 
added it back, but nada. Tried disabling it and re-enabling, again, 
nada. It shows as being enabled, and the password is OK.

Anyone else seeing this problem? Or is there a fix?

TIA
